Good morning!

The Empire ruled by Constantinople was the strongest link of the West with the East, resisting the Arab attacks for centuries. With its seizure by the Turks, trade was impaired, frontiers were weakened and Christian Europe, now without the strength of the great Roman Empire, was on grave risks of being invaded.
